quadrupled since 1999. under obama care, health plans have to include coverage for treatment. but there is more we need to do. thise been calling for investment so hundreds of thousands of americans can get the treatment they need. i'm glad the congress is finally getting it done. the second thing the cure act does is make significant investment. i set a goal of making america the country that ends cancer once and for all. i put the vice president in charge of mission control. this bill will allow us to invest in promising new --rapies and ways to protect joe has done an incredible job. this bill is a chance for congress to do his part two. we will be giving researchers the resources they need to identify, treat, and prevent all kinds of brain disorders.

whose loved ones are suffering from addiction. i believe we should seize every chance we have to find cures as soon as possible. thanks, everybody, and have a great weekend. >> hello, i'm the united states senator for wyoming. cities, towns and big families have spent the last seven years struggling under the health care law known as obama care. last month americans demanded accountability and voted for change. are tired of living under a costly and complicated health care law that broke one promise after another. poll, eight out of every 10 americans favored changing the health care law significantly or replacing it altogether. the election gives all of us the opportunity to take back control of our health care.
6:27 pm
americans can look for to getting the care they need from the doctor they choose at a lower cost. that means a health insurance that meets your family's needs. health care lets patients and doctors decide what is desperate families health. and health insurance you can afford. no amount of taxpayer bailout is going to make obamacare work. it needs to be replaced and repealed. repeal is only the first step. it clears the path for a replacement that works better than what we have now. the mandate that people must by government approved insurance must be eliminated. more than 20 obamacare taxes would be repealed. people have the faith inflexibility to make their own decisions about health care. americans would be able to use
